Nexus40. I can say a little bit of my story. Me too I give quite a lot of attention re the visual part of the software. I used java swing (I hated it, so old and inefficient). Regarding javaFx, it's not very mature. If you will encounter a problem... your chances of finding a solution on...

Alright, but can you please also say what is the real leverage? Because you didn't provided the real leverage. Real leverage is calculated by dividing entire Positions Value by Net Asset Value.

traderFJ, What is the real leverage on average? I don't think that this account is going to survive too much because the volatility is very high. Worst drawdown is 42%, this is not good. If I was you, I would throttle down the real leverage.

cool 2334, if you want some humble advice: stop using any TA... . TA should be learned by anyone at the beginning of their learning phase.(only to see with his eyes that is a waste of time). After one year/ maybe two, TA should be thrown to trash. Period. You will not see any investments...

Anyone?... I found this example jpmorgan.com/tss/General/Risk_Management/1159360877242 At example 4, they gave an example on how to calculate for 2 assets. Could that formula be modified to include 3 assets for instance? I was thinking to extend it to something like this for 3 assets...

Thanks for the replay. For the moment I just want to start with that simple example but the problem is that my math knowledge are very low and I don't know how to calculate that version of VaR based on that example.

Me personally I'm in strong favor of the Passion part. Because if there is not passion about trading then... well, no chance at succeeding on the long term in this business. Plain simple.

Yes, a mechanical system can eliminate some stress but not entirely. I'm speaking from experience. Although I have to add that I'm in first place a discretionary trader. But I managed to eliminate some stress by transferring some discretionary tasks toward a mechanical system to help me to...

hello, sorry that I'm also posting here but I already posted in another section but there wasn t to much interest, probably because that VaR topic is in the "options" section. I would like to ask for help about variance-covariance VaR calculations. I found a interesting video about...

hello, I would like to ask for help about variance-co. VaR calculations. I found a interesting video about how to calculate VaR in excel for two assets but I don't really know in details how to calculate it for more assets( 3 and more+ ). youtube.com/watch?v=YR2MijzLRPo Can anyone help...
